Should the Automatic Parking be Shifted to N Gear?

Whether to shift to N gear depends on the duration of parking and the model of the vehicle being driven. 1. Parking Duration: If the parking time is short, there is no need to shift to N gear, and you can keep it in the forward gear. However, if the parking time is long, it is necessary to shift to N gear. Some vehicles may disengage the power transmission when the brake is fully pressed or the automatic parking is activated during a red light. 2. Automatic Parking: Automatic parking refers to a function that automatically applies the brakes. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a red light, it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying the operation. For automatic transmission models, it also avoids frequent shifting between D to N or D to P.

What gear should be used when driving normally with an automatic transmission?

When driving normally with an automatic transmission, the D gear is used. Automatic transmission cars also have P gear, R gear, N gear, and L gear. The P gear is the parking gear in an automatic transmission, usually located at the frontmost position of the gearshift console. Its main function is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. The R gear is the reverse gear, marked as R on the gearshift console. After shifting into reverse, the vehicle's direction of travel will be opposite to that of the forward gear, allowing the car to move backward. The N gear is the neutral gear, which generally means that the vehicle's gearshift lever is not placed in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely separated from the drive wheels. The neutral gear in an automatic transmission is marked as "N". The D gear is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1-overdrive gear (equivalent to 1-4 gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. Due to different designs in various countries, the "D" gear generally includes gears from 1 to the highest or from 2 to the highest, and it will shift automatically based on changes in speed and load. When using the L gear, the engine operates within the maximum torque range, allowing the torque to be fully unleashed. This gear is suitable for climbing steep slopes or descending long distances.

Is Tire Removal Clockwise or Counterclockwise?

Tire removal is performed in a counterclockwise direction. The steps for tire removal are: 1. Use a socket wrench to loosen the tire's fixing screws in a diagonal sequence; 2. Place the jack into the slot and lift the vehicle with the jack; 3. Unscrew the loosened screws one by one to remove the tire. Situations that require tire replacement include: 1. Tire deformation; 2. Severe damage to the tire body; 3. Serious damage to the tread; 4. Damage to the bead; 5. Bulging or cracking on the tire sidewall; 6. Damage from running flat; 7. Multiple tire repairs; 8. Severe tire wear; 9. Chemical corrosion.

How to distinguish the quality of car window films?

First, pay attention to the 'three rates', namely light transmittance, UV resistance rate, and heat insulation rate, to differentiate the quality of the film. Looking from inside the car, the light transmittance should be very clear, regardless of the film's color depth, ensuring good visibility during night and rainy conditions. For a simple assessment of heat insulation, car owners can use a sunlamp at an auto beauty shop to feel the temperature change after applying the film. Taking the former barrier film as an example, a slightly better car film should have a light transmittance of over 70%, a UV resistance rate between 98% and 99%, and a heat insulation rate above 48%. For side windows and rear bumpers, the film's light transmittance only needs to be above 60%. Secondly, the quality of the film can also be judged by touch. High-quality films feel thick and smooth, with sufficient toughness. On the other hand, inferior films are prone to wrinkling and are thin and soft. Huang Guiyong introduced a tip: if the quality of the film cannot be determined by touch, car owners can take a small piece of the film and scratch it on glass. If the film easily leaves marks or breaks, it indicates low quality and should not be used. Additionally, car owners can peel off the film and smell it. Inferior films often leave a large amount of benzene in the adhesive layer, emitting a pungent odor. Choosing such low-quality products can severely affect the health of car owners.

Is it illegal to apply reflective stickers on car wheel hubs?

Applying reflective stickers on car wheel hubs is not illegal, as relevant laws stipulate that the area of car stickers must not exceed 30% of the vehicle's body area. If it exceeds this limit, approval is required. If the vehicle's body stickers are too large and have not been approved by the public security traffic management department, it will be considered illegal modification and subject to fines. Since wheel hub stickers do not exceed 30% of the body area, they are not considered illegal. Below are the allowable modification ranges: Body color: Body color can be modified, except for fire engine red, engineering rescue yellow, and the upper white and lower blue used for national administrative law enforcement. Changing the body color is a relatively easy modification. Like the entire vehicle, the body can have up to two colors. After changing the color, the modification must be registered with the vehicle management office within ten days. Body stickers: Applying personalized small stickers to the car is something many car owners enjoy, and this does not require reporting. However, remember that to pass the annual inspection, the sticker area must not exceed 30% of the total body area. Car interior: In principle, the interior can be modified as long as it does not affect safe driving. For example, wrapping leather seats, adding steering wheel covers, or decorating door panels with leather are allowed. However, seats cannot be removed, the internal structure of the vehicle cannot be altered, and the structural characteristics registered with the vehicle management office cannot be changed without authorization.
